Daughter Slowly Pilfered Almost $300k From Elderly Parents Who Gave Her The Same Debit Card She Used To Siphon Funds. Do They Have Any Recourse?

The stealing took place after the daughter moved them from Montana to Texas to live in an assisted living facility. They are now back in Montana. The money was in their checking account because they never invested it or moved it after selling their house.

Because they’re in their 80s and hard of hearing I want to make some calls to lawyers in Texas on their behalf. But I don’t know: A - if they have any options because she was allowed to use the debit card for gas and anything else they needed. B - What type of attorney would I call.

She also convinced them to sign over their newer car since she was driving it in Texas and neither had a Texas driver’s license. I think that’s a loss.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am not a blood family member but they have been in my life since I was a baby and are like family, so I want to at least get the ball rolling. Thank you!
